    Abstract: Approaches in accordance with various embodiments provide for the presentation of augmented reality (AR) content with respect to optically challenging surfaces. Such surfaces can be difficult to locate using conventional optical-based approaches that rely on visible features. Embodiments can utilize the fact that horizontal surfaces can be located relatively easily, and can determine intersections or boundaries of those horizontal surfaces that likely indicate the presence of another surface, such as a vertical wall. This boundary can be determined automatically, through user input, or using a combination of such approaches. Once such an intersection is located, a virtual plane can be determined whose relative location to a device displaying AR content can be tracked and used as a reference for displaying AR content.

    Abstract: A camera is used to capture image data of representations of a physical environment. Planes and surfaces are determined from a representation. The planes and the surfaces are analyzed using relationships there between to obtain shapes and depth information for available spaces within the physical environment. Locations of the camera with respect to the physical environment are determined. The shapes and the depth information are analyzed using a trained neural network to determine items fitting the available spaces. A live camera view is overlaid with a selection from the items to provide an augmented reality (AR) view of the physical environment from an individual location of the locations. The AR view is enabled so that a user can port to a different location than the individual location by an input received to the AR view while the selection from the items remains anchored to the individual location.
